POSSIBLE PROGRAM FOR PRACTICES
1 = possible daily, review list to decide which; 3 = semi-weekly; 7 = weekly; 30 = monthly; 365 = yearly;
One should have empowering statements and key affirmations absolutely memorized and instantly available.
The assumptions are that we are able to figure out efficient ways of exercising, but optional trips to gym can be taken by choice. The approximate time per day for all up to once a week practices, on average, including 5 30 minute exercise sessions a week, would be 63 minutes. (People watch tv for many more minutes than that. Of course, you can exercise while watching tv or a DVD. Also, if you do the exercises and deep relaxation exercises and the psychological “completing”, your sleep need and/or tiredness will declineappreciably.)
One daily practice that would be worthwhile to add would be to do the processes for life management for at least an hour a day for 5 days a week (or the equivalent).
